LED Light Therapy

Revita Medical & Skin Clinic provides consultation-based care focused on healthy skin. LED Light Therapy is one of the options we may recommend after a face-to-face assessment of your individual concerns and medical history. Information below is general and outcomes vary from person to person.

What is LED Light Therapy?

LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses selected light wavelengths to target the skin’s surface. It is designed to support skin quality and is delivered without incisions. The approach does not replace medical care for diagnosed skin diseases. Suitability and the expected course are discussed with your practitioner during consultation.

At Revita Medical & Skin Clinic, treatments are planned to be appropriate to your skin type and goals, with attention to safety and realistic expectations.

The Science Behind LED Light Therapy

LED stands for light-emitting diode. These diodes emit specific colours of visible or near-visible light when an electric current passes through them. Different colours reach different depths of the skin. In a clinical setting, your practitioner selects settings based on your presentation and overall plan. Eye protection is used throughout the session.

Potential Benefits of LED Light Therapy

LED Light Therapy may help with general skin appearance by supporting skin luminosity and texture. Treatment plans often involve multiple sessions. Your practitioner will explain expected benefits, the likely number of sessions, and limits of the treatment for your circumstances. Outcomes and longevity depend on individual factors including skin type, lifestyle and adherence to aftercare.

Acne-related concerns: Certain light colours are used in some patients as part of a management plan for blemish-prone skin. Suitability depends on severity, skin type and concurrent products or medicines. Results vary and multiple sessions may be recommended.

Skin quality and fine lines: Some people seek LED Light Therapy to support skin quality, including the appearance of fine lines and overall skin radiance. Any improvements are typically gradual and differ between individuals.

Post-procedure support: In selected cases, LED may be used by clinicians as part of post-procedure care plans to support general skin recovery. Your practitioner will advise if and when this is appropriate for you.

Other concerns: Claims about treating specific medical conditions require individual assessment. If you have a diagnosed skin condition or scalp concern, please discuss this with your practitioner so that you can receive appropriate medical advice or referral.

At Revita Medical & Skin Clinic, your safety and informed decision-making are central. We will discuss what LED Light Therapy can and cannot do for you, alternatives, likely session frequency and any costs before you decide.

Under-eye appearance: Some patients enquire about the appearance of under-eye darkness. Your practitioner will assess suitability and provide guidance. Outcomes vary and multiple sessions may be required.

What are the Risks of LED Light Therapy

All procedures carry risks. Most people experience minimal effects, however possible temporary effects include:

Redness: This may occur and usually settles shortly after treatment.

Swelling: Mild and short-lived swelling can occur in some individuals.

Itching: Usually mild and temporary if present.

Dryness or tightness: A transient feeling of dryness or tightness may occur and is generally manageable with aftercare advised by your practitioner.

Photosensitivity: If you use photosensitising medicines or products, or have a photosensitive condition, you may be at greater risk of adverse effects. LED Light Therapy may not be suitable in these circumstances. Always disclose your medical history and current medicines, including over-the-counter and topical products.

Appropriate eye protection is required during treatment. Please tell your practitioner about any eye conditions or procedures so we can assess suitability.
